Whoopi Goldberg Defends 10 Surprising Things

messenger says...

The context was talking about the Ray Rice incident. By saying that you can expect to get hit back if you hit someone, she's defending Rice's actions.

I think the Ray Rice one was taken a bit out of context. In that clip she's not directly referring to Rice. Just saying in general that if you hit someone, regardless of gender you can't expect to not be hit back.

European Debt Crisis Visualized

Thanks radx for bringing that up, and so astutely too.

I wasn't happy with a lot of the language in the video, especially surrounding the cultures of Germany and Greece. To me those parts sound like someone with a burning private agenda who just wouldn't be able to sleep at night without somehow painting Greek people as the problem and German people as doing the right thing. He tried to appear impartial, but it didn't come off that way to me. That statement sounded like it was full of moral assumptions, and I'm not surprised there's a strong counterargument to it.

8:18 – "Germany is very financially responsible".

The clip makes a few good points, twists others and omits some central issues. But I want to comment on the quote above most of all, because it forms the basis for all kinds of arguments and recommendations.

Why Bikes Stay Up - MinutePhysics

I had a similar thought, followed by an equally small desire to figure it out.

I wonder if it has anything to do with why train wheels stay on the rails due to being tapered, and the flange is only there for emergencies. They're self-centering.

Like, when the bike wheel turns, it becomes effectively a larger system that wants to return to being smaller.

Why Space Station Resupply Rocket Failures are a Good Thing

Thanks!

Time to get nit picky. The title of the video is incorrect. "Why the Recent Space-X Explosions are a Good Thing". Spacex Dragon has had only 1 failure (Sunday) in the last 18 launhces, 4th best record of all launch vehicles in history. Antares is a US vehicle and the Proton is Russian. So the title should read "Why the recent ISS resupply failures are a good thing"
